Lauren’s Bi-weekly News 12 – 26 MarchIt’s March, Yey! It’s that month where we are getting ready to celebrate Passover! It always sneaks up so quickly and then before you know it,it’s Passover Eve.. When I first got saved 16 years ago, God led me in to His Word where He spoke to His people Israel about His Holy Festival days. When I studied the words found in the text of Leviticus 23, the word for festival is appointed time or anniversary. These are anniversary days when we can meet with God, which is incredibly special. So I’m excited about this. In news related goodies, I’m sharing my story on Leef Magazine, out in stories on 19th March. It’s a part of my testimony about my journey with separation anxiety disorder and the trauma of that deeply emotional scarring. We filming my husbands testimony next week, this is something unique we will be doing as God has laid this burden on our hearts afresh, to tell hubbys story. I’m getting ready for a dance exam (yikes!) and just generally going deeper with God in a very unique season of growth. SO may March bless you dear friends and thank you so much for stopping by, as always it’s so good to see you here. Blessings Lauren

What I'm About

Speaking Out

I’m outspoken and passionate about the burdens Yeshua has woven in my heart, and I want to always use my voice for hope, truth and change in this generation. This calling is to “go to where the silence is and say something.”

Writer

The pen is a weapon, it has the power to overcome, to heal, to wage war and reveal truth. It’s a weapon of warfare, and we have to wield it well. At the cornerstone of my purpose is a calling to write, it burns inside of me.

Gender Justice

What if we lived in a world where women and men co – ruled and co – reigned, it’s a dream that was reality, right there in the beginning. My eyes have seen many things, and my heart has become connected with the calling for gender equality. I’m an egalitarian, that’s who I am!

One of the things I enjoy talking about (with the right people that is), is sexuality. Sexuality is seldom talked about by faith communities, it’s a topic pushed under the rug or spoken about only when abstinence or purity...

I am passionate about mentorship. There I said it loud and clear, did you hear my roar? But as passionate as I am about being mentored and mentoring other beautiful souls, I also know how scary mentorship can be....

Testimony

As I read your poem I am Woman at the end of my presentation – I felt myself automatically slow down – and I felt the words coming through me as they must have done through you. What an extraordinary powerful piece of writing ‘I am Woman’ is. There was a very special energy in the PE Opera House when I read it. – Alison Botha, Rape Survivor, Author, Motivational Speaker

Testimony
